Kano Pillars have officially unveiled Daniel Ogunmodede as their new technical adviser, marking a significant shift in the club’s leadership ahead of the 2026/2027 Nigeria Premier Football League season. The 46-year-old tactician was introduced at the club’s secretariat in Kano on Saturday by Chairman Ahmad Musbahu Garo. Ogunmodede replaces Mohammed Babaganaru, who led the Sai Masu Gida to safety in the previous season. The announcement was shared on the club’s official X account, where they welcomed Ogunmodede with praise for his proven track record and winning mindset.
The four-time NPFL champions described Ogunmodede as a “proven tactician with a winning mentality,” emphasizing his role in guiding the team toward future success. His appointment comes as the club begins preparations for the upcoming season, with training sessions starting on Monday. Fans and stakeholders are hopeful that his experience and strategic approach will help Kano Pillars reclaim their position among Nigeria’s top football clubs.
Before joining Kano Pillars, Ogunmodede served as technical adviser at Remo Stars, where he played a key role in the club’s historic achievement of winning the NPFL title in the 2023/2024 season. His departure from Remo Stars was marked by an emotional farewell message, in which he reflected on his time with the club. “What started as an opportunity became a family, a purpose, and one of the defining chapters of my life,” he wrote, expressing deep gratitude for the journey.
Ogunmodede highlighted the collective effort that led to their championship success, calling it a reward for years of sacrifice, resilience, and hard work. He emphasized that his departure is not one of regret, but of fulfillment, having given his all to the club and its mission. He also offered well wishes for Remo Stars’ future, urging them to continue growing and achieving greater heights both nationally and internationally.
As Kano Pillars gear up for the new season, the appointment of Ogunmodede signals a fresh chapter for the club. His experience and leadership are expected to bring renewed energy and ambition to the Sai Masu Gida as they aim to compete at the highest level of Nigerian football. The move is seen as a strategic step toward rebuilding and re-establishing the club’s dominance in the NPFL.
